Through two weeks of conference play, only two games separates first place from eighth place in The American.
Cincinnati sits alone atop the standings at 4-2 in conference play after the Bearcats took two of three in each of their first two league series. Cincinnati's midweek ledger sends the Bearcats to Oxford, Ohio, for the Joe Nuxhall Classic. The Bearcats, who last won that event in 2014, will face Wright State Tuesday and will take on either Miami (Ohio) or Xavier Wednesday.
Tulane sits a half-game behind Cincinnati after the Green Wave took two of three from East Carolina last weekend.
